    Rose shouldn't be on the list since he hasn't played in a year.

    Besides, he's being an absolute baby about coming back

    Harden is ahead of Nowitzki, MGasol, Ginobili, Bosh.
    Irving is an interesting one, definitely top 10. Aldridge should be higher but don't know if he's ahead of Harden.

    Damn, they dumped Aldridge to 25th. I think I'm blinded by the one recent game he had against Houston

    I actually think Harden is going to get too much love. I see him being listed at 5 or 6 which is too high. He is solid at 8 or 9.

    Your top 6 looks pretty on-point, but I'd say it goes 7 - Wade, 8 - Parker, 9 - Harden, 10 - Marc Gasol, Tim Duncan or Blake Griffin

    I voted 11-15, but thinking about it more I guess 8-10 is more likely.

    I think he'll end up in the 11-15 range with most of the top 10 coming from the top 5-6 teams in the NBA. Howard and Bryant will be in the top 10 for legacy/big market reasons.

    Harden should be listed from #7-#9. I'm guessing #8.

    It'd be a farce to have two top-10 players for a team that like-as-not won't be in the playoffs. Take any 2 other candidates for top-10 in Kobe/Howard's place, they'd make the playoffs. Maybe its an injury problem, maybe its a chemistry problem, but that ish counts too.

    His production dropped off a cliff, what are you talking about? It was obvious to me that he came back too early and he had huge trouble finding the range and being effective (Not unexpected). To say his production wasn't lost is crazy.

    Rose the "23rd best" player in the NBA. Hmmm.

    Yeah, yeah, yeah, hurt, hasn't played, blah blah blah

    Agree on Paul George being ranked too low.

    He DESERVES 5-7, he'll land 8-10.

    I can't think of more than 7 players I'd rather have combining age with skill level.

    Where the heck is Tim Duncan? Obviously flashy play > substantive play in most people's eyes.

    Lol if Dwight still makes the top 10 after this year, then that's just a sad ranking.

    I voted 11-15, as it's pretty easy to think of 10 betters players or at least on par

    L.James
    D.Wade
    K.Bryant
    C.Paul
    C.Anthony
    K.Durant
    T.Duncan
    T.Parker
    D.Rose
    D.Nowitizki

    You could even make arguments for Kevin Love and Marc Gasol. Definitely not top 5 and it'd be a stretch to put him in the top 10.

    Also any list without Duncan in the top 10 is....wow.
